  Nervous System Has Central and Peripheral Parts
  Principal Cellular Elements of the Nervous System Are Neurons and Glial Cells
  2. Development of the Nervous System
  Neural Tube Gives Rise to the Central Nervous System
  Neural Crest and Cranial Placodes Give Rise to the Peripheral Nervous System
  Adverse Events During Development Can Cause Congenital Malformations of the Nervous System
  3. Gross Anatomy and General Organization of the Central Nervous System
  Long Axis of the CNS Bends at the Cephalic Flexure
  Hemisecting a Brain Reveals Parts of the Diencephalon, Brainstem, and Ventricular System
  Humans, Relative to Other Animals, Have Large Brains and Many Neurons
  Named Sulci and Gyri Cover the Cerebral Surface
  Diencephalon Includes the Thalamus and Hypothalamus
  Most Cranial Nerves Are Attached to the Brainstem
  Cerebellum Includes a Vermis and Two Hemispheres
  Sections of the Forebrain Reveal the Basal Nuclei and Limbic Structures
  Parts of the Nervous System Are Interconnected in Systematic Ways (Generalizations)
  4. Meningeal Coverings of the Brain and Spinal Cord
  There Are Three Meningeal Layers: The Dura Mater, Arachnoid, and Pia Mater
  Dura Mater Provides Mechanical Strength
  Arachnoid Mater
  Pia Mater Covers the Surface of the CNS
  Vertebral Canal Contains a Spinal Epidural Space
  Bleeding Can Open Up Potential Meningeal Spaces
  Parts of the CNS Can Herniate from One Intracranial Compartment Into Another
  5. Ventricles and Cerebrospinal Fluid
  Brain Contains Four Ventricles
  Choroid Plexus Is the Source of Most CSF
  Imaging Techniques Allow Noninvasive Visualization of the CNS
  Disruption of CSF Circulation Can Cause Hydrocephalus
  6. Blood Supply of the Brain
  Internal Carotid Arteries and Vertebral Arteries Supply the Brain
  Imaging Techniques Allow Arteries and Veins to Be Visualized
  Blood Flow to the CNS Is Closely Controlled
  System of Barriers Partially Separates the Nervous System From the Rest of the Body
  Superficial and Deep Veins Drain the Brain
  7. Electrical Signaling by Neurons
  Lipid-Protein Membrane Separates Intracellular and Extracellular Fluids
  Inputs to Neurons Cause Slow, Local Potential Changes
  Action Potentials Convey Information Over Long Distances
  Resistors, Capacitors, and Neuronal Membranes
  Calculating the Membrane Potential
  8. Synaptic Transmission Between Neurons
  There Are Five Steps in Conventional Chemical Synaptic Transmission
  Synaptic Transmission Can Be Rapid and Point-to-Point, or Slow and Often Diffuse
  Synaptic Strength Can Be Facilitated or Depressed
  Most Neurotransmitters Are Small Amine Molecules, Amino Acids, or Neuropeptides
  Gap Junctions Mediate Direct Current Flow From One Neuron to Another
  9. Sensory Receptors and the Peripheral Nervous System
  Receptors Encode the Nature, Location, Intensity, and Duration of Stimuli
  Somatosensory Receptors Detect Mechanical, Chemical, or Thermal Changes
  Peripheral Nerves Convey Information To and From the CNS
  10. Spinal Cord
  Spinal Cord Is Segmented
  All Levels of the Spinal Cord Have a Similar Cross-Sectional Structure
  Spinal Cord Is Involved in Sensory Processing, Motor Outflow, and Reflexes
  Spinal Gray Matter Is Regionally Specialized
  Reflex Circuitry Is Built Into the Spinal Cord
  Ascending and Descending Pathways Have Defined Locations in the Spinal White Matter
  Autonomic Nervous System Monitors and Controls Visceral Activity
  Longitudinal Network of Arteries Supplies the Spinal Cord
  Spinal Cord Damage Causes Predictable Deficits
  11. Organization of the Brainstem
  Brainstem Has Conduit, Cranial Nerve and Integrative Functions
  Medulla, Pons, and Midbrain Have Characteristic Gross Anatomical Features
  Internal Structure of the Brainstem Reflects Surface Features and the Position of Long Tracts
  Reticular Core of the Brainstem Is Involved in Multiple Functions
  Some Brainstem Nuclei Have Distinctive Neurochemical Signatures
  Brainstem Is Supplied by the Vertebral-Basilar System
  12. Cranial Nerves and Their Nuclei
  Cranial Nerve Nuclei Have a Generally Predictable Arrangement
  Cranial Nerves III, IV, VI, XI, and XII Contain Somatic Motor Fibers
  Branchiomeric Nerves Contain Axons From Multiple Categories
  Brainstem Damage Commonly Causes Deficits on One Side of the Head and the Opposite Side of the Body
  13. Chemical Senses of Taste and Smell
  Perception of Flavor Involves Gustatory, Olfactory, Trigeminal, and Other Inputs
  Taste Is Mediated by Receptors in Taste Buds Innervated by Cranial Nerves VII, IX, and X
  Olfaction Is Mediated by Receptors That Project Directly to the Telencephalon
  14. Hearing and Balance: The Eighth Cranial Nerve
  Auditory and Vestibular Receptor Cells Are Located in the Walls of the Membranous Labyrinth
  Cochlear Division of the Eighth Nerve Conveys Information About Sound
  Vestibular Division of the Eighth Nerve Conveys Information About Linear and Angular Acceleration of the Head
  15. Atlas of the Human Brainstem
  16. Thalamus and Internal Capsule: Getting to and from the Cerebral Cortex
  Diencephalon Includes the Epithalamus, Subthalamus, Hypothalamus, and Thalamus
  Thalamus Is the Gateway to the Cerebral Cortex
  Interconnections Between the Cerebral Cortex and Subcortical Structures Travel Through the Internal Capsule
  17. Visual System
  Eye Has Three Concentric Tissue Layers and a Lens
  Retina Contains Five Major Neuronal Cell Types
  Retinal Neurons Translate Patterns of Light Into Patterns of Contrast
  Half of the Visual Field of Each Eye Is Mapped Systematically in the Contralateral Cerebral Hemisphere
  Primary Visual Cortex Sorts Visual Information and Distributes It to Other Cortical Areas
  Early Experience Has Permanent Effects on the Visual System
  Reflex Circuits Adjust the Size of the Pupil and the Focal Length of the Lens
  18. Overview of Motor Systems
  Each Lower Motor Neuron Innervates a Group of Muscle Fibers, Forming a Motor Unit
  Motor Control Systems Involve Both Hierarchical and Parallel Connections
  Corticospinal Tract Has Multiple Origins and Terminations
  19. Basal Nuclei
  Basal Nuclei Include Five Major Nuclei
  Basal Nuclei Circuitry Involves Multiple Parallel Loops That Modulate Cortical Output
  Interconnections of the Basal Nuclei Determine the Pattern of Their Outputs
  Perforating Branches From the Cerebral Arterial Circle (of Willis) Supply the Basal Nuclei
  Many Basal Nuclei Disorders Result in Abnormalities of Movement
  20. Cerebellum
  Cerebellum Can Be Divided Into Both Transverse and Longitudinal Zones
  Cerebellar Cortex Receives Multiple Inputs
  Each Longitudinal Zone Has a Distinctive Output
  Clinical Syndromes Correspond to Functional Zones
  21. Eye Movements
  Six Extraocular Muscles Move the Eye in the Orbit
  There Are Fast and Slow Conjugate Eye Movements
  Changes in Object Distance Require Vergence Movements
  Basal Nuclei and Cerebellum Participate in Eye Movement Control
  22. Cerebral Cortex
  Most Cerebral Cortex Is Neocortex
  Neocortical Areas Are Specialized for Different Functions
  Corpus Callosum Unites the Two Cerebral Hemispheres
  Consciousness and Sleep Are Active Processes
  23. Drives and Emotions: The Hypothalamus and Limbic System

  24. Formation, Modification, and Repair of Neuronal Connections
  Both Neurons and Connections Are Produced in Excess During Development
  Synaptic Connections Are Adjusted Throughout Life
  PNS Repair Is More Effective Than CNS Repair
